Other Histories
ISBN: 9780415061223 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After a decade of historical anthropology, the discipline seems to be thoroughly historicized.

Using historical and ethnographic material, mainly from Europe, Other Histories examines the nature of history and its importance to anthropological study. The apparently Eurocentric perspective of this book actually serves the purpose of dismantling the unity and progress of...

The frontier or marcher societies flourished in the Middle Ages and their influence has lasted well into modern times. In this study of Anglo-Scottish relations and of border society, the contributors examine the infrastructure beneath societies which were permanently organized for war.

The book uses the celebrated Battle of Otterburn as a starting-point for a major reassessment...

ISBN: 9780415088916 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Through the work of historians since Foucault, the growth of public and voluntary institutions for the insane from the late eighteenth century has been associated with the bourgeoisie's desire for social order and social control in a period of rapid economic and political change. In addition, the importance of psychiatrists' quest for professional status and security has also been emphasised as a motor of institutional proliferation throughout the nineteenth century.
However, as Charlotte MacKenzie points out, neither of these models is easily applicable to the development of the private... Through the work of historians since Foucault, the growth of public and voluntary institutions for the insane from the late eighteenth century has bee...

ISBN: 9780415093682 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Private alliances and exchange of favours permeated political, social, economic, and artistic life in early modern Europe. These informal patronage relationships, which helped construct ties between monarchs and political elites, were especially strong in early Stuart England. As court patronage grew, so did opportunities for betrayal and corruption. But was early Stuart government really more corrupt than Tudor government? Were the structures of governance becoming unworkable, or were they badly managed by the Stuarts? Did corruption aid modernization? In this study, Linda Levy Peck tackles...

She shows how as the professions gained in power and influence, so they were challenged...
